Everybody Lexblaze! Round II - Mars II LED - Soma So Gouda

Back building looks like it will pay off. No more pointy foxtail shaped buds.

Used a camera lens with a low aperture of f1.2 and here are some artistic shots with camera.

Looking good, I wish my plants were that well proportioned

My secret was this plant responded to Topping twice, lst and super cropped into shape. These plants can generally make single fat colas
But I was looking for space efficiency

Lex, I'm envious of you. Your plant has me salivating like a bitch in heat. Great work man!

Thanks! glad you are enjoying the ride on this Journal

 

[DrZiggy]

Lex, great job! How long before harvest can one, or should start to backbuild?

 

[lexblaze]

I think I did mine 1 or 2 weeks too early.. However the formations are there now. Next time with the clones I will do them at week 6.5
2.5 weeks after nitrogen nutrients have been stopped

This is my first time trying this technique and will also do on clones in future

More clones taken from - clones.
Hope they root!

Mothers from clones

Its all happening I love this plant and hope to keep it for as long as I can

 

[DrZiggy]

Lexblaze, is that just water youre soaking the clones in, or do you put anything in it?

Hi DrZiggy!

This is how I got the previous mothers - Tapwater/Distilled in water bottles and just topped up water daily. Once Roots have elongated I then transplanted to Rockwool that has been soaking overnight in 1/4 strength solution.

This time it is - Cut off cloned mother(s) into a glass of Distilled water, let sit for a few hours while preparing rock wool and plastip cups to house the clones. This strain previously took about 20 days to root in this method with fat roots. I then tear open Rockwool and transplant to Coco as I no longer use rock wool past Germination/Rooting.

It would probably root faster with hormones. But I know she is a strong plant and her strength is she can take anything you throw at her.

I use and invert cups upside down to control humidity after spraying the inner walls with a mist of water.

Hope this helps!

She has turned fast. Super lime green + 30-40% total Orange hairs Its time to start checking the trichrome development from now

Ha! You don't need to go to a dispensary in CO. You have bliss right there.

 

[GeminiKid]

Nice Grow looking good!

Tent view

Leaf's turning purple. Genetic or disease? Nitrogen Has been completely removed from feeding

 

[KingJohnC]

Many strains of cannabis turn purple colors when flowering due to genetics or temperature of the grow area.

 

[Antics]

The colors in your buds is pure art man. You could blow that up and frame it.

Hell, I'd personally hang that on my wall.

I just harvested a blueberry run over in WA lex.. Has very purple stems from low night time temps (~16-18c) but unfortunately didn't get any purple buds. Your grow is looking really really nice! Looking forward to seeing the end result.

Nice done a smoke report yet?

I have actually found out I made a terrible mistake and the PPM run off has been extremely hot. I hope she lives..

 

[DrZiggy]

You may want to flush alot with plain water...

I've only smoked a quick dry nugget so far. Will wait till it's cured to do a report. Looks like you've caught the ppm problem early so you should be fine! Decent flush will sort it out.

Yep just spent the past hour flushing her out.

I've flushed her out with GH Florakleen. She did not show any signs of stress and just kept getting bulkier and dense.
However doing initial flush after 8L of water showed a PPM of 2000!! after constant testing and about 20ml later of Florakleen she is down to 300ppm.

3-4 weeks left to go. So I will let her sit for a day then increase feed to 500PPM then taper off with just water flushes
